anning Myers, Su eriintendent ELISE MANNING Secretary to the Superintendent Seb 971, A.B., 1906, Brown University. To the students of Wildwood High School I extend my congratulations upon the publication of this the first Yearbook in the history of the school. It makes a step forward in our high school career. The other day I stood in front of the Liberty Bell in Independence Hall thinking of the many things that have happened to us as a nation since that memorable time when a small boy shouted: Ring, Grandpa, ring. That time was the beginning of a new era of personal liberty, of freedom of speech, of religious and political liberty. It was the clarion tone that culminated in the democracy that we have today. I am one of those who believe that this democracy is worth saving, that its blessings are amply exemplified by the comparative safety that we enjoy in a world of turmoil and strife. The cornerstone of this democracy is education, training in the traditions and ideals of this land that we all love. May we, all of us, be ever ready to defend, maintain and extend, through our educational institutions, those things that have made America great. LANNIN G MYERS, Superintendent.

Greetings, Pioneers! Wildwood High School ventures at last into the yearbook field! And what a lot of ventures have been taken this past year: new bell schedule, new courses of study in English, science, home economics, shops, and social studies, new report cards, a new marking system, new registration forms, seventeen new cldbs, home rooms, student council, revised athletic system, new permanent records, abolition of final examinations, a central treasurer for all student funds, a full-time librarian, better assemblies, a handbook, and other things too numerous to mention! In the pioneering spirit these new things have been added to our list of activities. Every one of them has been challenged with this thought: What does this item contribute to the development of Wildwood youth? Can it be justified in the light of our democratic needs? The yearbook answers Yes to this query. Your perusal of its pages will corroborate the Yes, May this pioneering yearbook be the ancestor of many more to come! JOHN P. LOZO, Principal. eight
